x38g reports

[perryjay]

Well, that was interesting. I ran the EVGA scanner for an hour. Afterward I checked it's log file. According to it I am running an ATI 6850 and I had artifacts out the ying yang. It also downclocked me way below anything that should be still running. I don't think I'll try that again.


And..... tried to get your version but it tells me my directx9 is not up to date and it blocks out  GPU OCCT and power supply tests.   I've got directx 11.

DirectX in your system will need an update. DirectX 9.0c update was published 18th April 2011.

Well, that didn't take as long as I thought it would. I don't think I ever had DX9 on this machine.  Hope it doesn't mess with anything else on here.

I tried OCCT on my laptop.
the "Monitoring" part did not open on my i3
seems program is missing some latest chipsets

I ran it for 30 minutes at default 0 shader complexity the first time and got a ton of errors then remembered one of the FAQs that said EVGA precision would cause errors so I stopped it and ran it again for your 6 minute test and set the shader complexity to 8 with no errors.

OK,
  looks like some optimised code can push things harder than previously thought for durations too short to detect with monitoring tools.  That would explain a lot coupled with overoptimistic factory or user OC's, insufficient cooling or PSU.  For now I'd advise backing off any OC if you see invalids not directly attributable to being stiffed by legacy wingmen apps.  In the long run I may need to detect signs of instability, and devise a more purpose built stability check.

Stable for 6 mins OCCT on max complexity is good.  An hour run would be more thorough, but probably get pretty warm.

Hope I did those links right. After a half hour on the first run it only got up to 85c so temp doesn't seem to be a problem.

This one took awhile to decide.  http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=763346130

Eeh gads.  If that's started recently then somethings come unstuck.  Please reboot & report temperatures.  I can see your driver is 280.19.  If something let go, I'd like to find out what.

It all started yesterday - GPU load was 99% but temp was under 40C. Check with GPU-z, cuda-z and nvidia inspector if the GPU has down-clocked itself but it didn't. Reboot, change drivers, OC with EVGA pricision, OC thru bios, ran OCCT, ran EVGA OC Scanner - all these stuff didn't point to a single error. Right now load temps are @65C-70C. I also change the cuda count from .31/.34 to .50/.50 but still got an error on MB but surprisingly no error on AP.

[Jason G]

Please Ditch AP, aborting tasks as necessary, then after a reboot report to me  x38g behaviour only.  Thanks.

After ditching all AP task, x38g is running smoothly.

[Jason G]

After ditching all AP task, x38g is running smoothly.

Thanks for the information, and I apologise for the curtness of the recommendation.  For the AP app, current advice being given is to run either Cuda 4.0 Drivers, or the Beta AP app, but not both together, as apparently it does not include any of the (boincApi) fixes for newer drivers, and the underlying OS/driver changes they address.

Here's one that is interesting. Must say they tried their best to prove me wrong but finally gave up and gave me credit.  http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=783092275
